By Jacquie Budd // Around 10 years ago, Prana produced a women's trouser called the Borego. I loved those trousers (so much that I bought 4 pairs over time) and every person I came across wearing them raved about how fantastic they were. It was a sad day when Prana stopped manufacturing the Borego's and I've spent years looking for something to rival them. Enter the Prana Halle trousers.
It has to be said that the Halle's are a completely different animal to the Borego's but I think I could come to love them just as much.
By Jacquie Budd // I recently came across Kuhl clothing and decided to look online for a pair of trousers. Aware that I feel uncomfortable climbing and walking with anything which feels too tight across my midriff/hips, I looked specifically for a relaxed fit. The Splash Roll-up Pant fit the bill and had good reviews.
The trousers are a mix of cotton, nylon and 3% spandex and feel quite a heavy trouser for warm weather in the summer months. However, the flipside is that they feel a super durable trouser and I think they will really come into their own on cooler autumn days at the crag.
The fabric is advertised as quick dry but (unbelievably for the UK) I still have to find a rainy day to test this out (ssshhh!).
